Summary

Join Carl and Todd as they tackle the pressing issues of gender ideology and pastoral practice with special guests Mary Rice Hassan and Teresa Farnan from the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Mary and Teresa have worked on a book titled Gender Ideology and Pastoral Practice: A Handbook for Catholic Clergy, Counselors, and Ministerial Leaders, which Carl believes to be immensely valuable for Protestants and Catholics alike. Discover insights from their book as they discuss the challenges facing pastors today, from pronoun use to public education to the influence of social media on youth. Our children feel so lonely and alone, so what do they do? They go online, and they find a community of people. So we, as churches – our role has to be that online community. I don't care what denomination you are; if you're not there giving community to your young people, they will go looking for it somewhere, and what they will find is so toxic. – Teresa Farnan Learn how pastors and churches can equip themselves to address these complex issues with love and truth. Thanks to the generosity of Notre Dame Press, we are pleased to offer two copies of Gender Ideology and Pastoral Practice: A Handbook for Catholic Clergy, Counselors, and Ministerial Leaders to our listeners. Enter here for the opportunity to win one.

0:29.2	Let's join this week's conversation.
0:31.6	Thank you. Welcome to Mortification of Spin. My name's Kyle Truman. I'm Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies
0:55.6	at Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania, and I'm here as always with my friend and co-host,
1:01.5	the Reverend Todd Pruitt, pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church, a congregation of the PCA in
1:07.8	Harrisonburg, Virginia. Good to see you, Todd. Good to see you, Carl, as always.
1:13.9	You know, you're looking like kind of a Protestant Christian Michel Foucault.
1:22.4	Yes, yeah, the hair is finally gone. I just decided in the summer, you know, when it's over,
1:27.1	it's over. So on Sunday after preaching, I went into the bathroom I just decided in the summer, you know, when it's over, it's over.
1:27.8	So on Sunday after preaching, I went into the bathroom and I looked in the mirror and I really
1:32.6	am a bald guy. I might as well just get rid of the whole thing. So it's all gone. Yes, I've
1:38.6	embraced my, my bald destiny. So, but, well, it's a great pleasure to be here today.
1:46.0	And we've got two special guests on.
1:47.0	One of my other hats that I wear to cover my baldness on occasion is that I'm a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
1:56.0	And I'm very honored and privileged to serve there with a number of very, very distinguished thinkers
2:04.2	and writers.
2:04.9	I feel often a little bit, I wouldn't say like a fish out of water, but a bit like an interloper.
2:11.0	I'm really just a Reformation historian, but by an accident of history, I've somehow ended up
2:16.4	at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
2:18.2	And that's exposed me to and introduced me to the work of a number of extremely important thinkers
